DARIEN, Conn. — A 51-year-old man who used cocaine with juveniles as young as 14 in his Darien home was arrested on multiple charges Friday morning, police said.

Mark Yarish was taken into custody at 10:30 a.m. by Darien Police on an active arrest warrant. He was charged with five counts of risk of injury to a minor and one count of second-degree reckless endangerment after he "introduced juveniles to narcotics," police said.

The arrest warrant was issued as the result of a continuing investigation into Yarish, who was arrested in late July on charges of filling alcohol orders for teens via text message, police said.

Detectives determined that Yarish specifically provided and used cocaine with juveniles as young as age 14, while in his home at 20 Cherry St., police said.
